...Says Buhari has taken charge of security

Chairman, Senate Committee on Army, on Wednesday, accused the Southern Governors Forum of engaging in blame game by calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to address security lapses in the country.

He faulted the ban on open grazing by the Governors, saying they deviated from the real issues.

Ndume, who made these assertions while speaking to reporters in Abuja, said Governors as Chief Security Officers of their respective states ought to know what to do to stem the growing tide of insecurity across the six geopolitical zones of the country.

He said: “As far as I am concerned, this blame game will not solve the problem. Governors are the Chief Security Officers of their states, so, why are they talking about the President without talking about themselves?

“The governors are deviating from the matter. The problem is not about open grazing. The problem is security. Most of the security problems confronting Nigeria are not in the bush.

“We have four different types of security challenges. We have the insurgency in the North East, IPOB, through the Eastern Security Network, is creating insecurity in the South East. There is banditry in the North-West.

“It is only in the North Central that we have issues of farmers-herders clashes. There are fewer problems in the South-West except for the clashes between the herdsmen and the farmers, and the agitators for the Yoruba nation.

“Similarly, in the South-South, they are trying to instigate the Avengers but so far the area is peaceful.

“The issue of insecurity is unique to each zone. President Buhari has taken charge of the security personally now.

“It used to be the Chief of Staff or the Minister of Defence who was having meetings with the Service Chiefs but today, the President has taken charge of the problem.

“That is a good development and I hope we would start seeing results but the most important thing is for them to be provided with necessary equipment to prosecute the war and their allowances should be paid in time.”

The Borno South lawmaker also commended the military for stopping Boko Haram insurgents from infiltrating Maiduguri on Tuesday night.

He said: “I commend the armed forces operating in Maiduguri for their gallant response to the attack by the Boko Haram.

“On Tuesday evening, around 6pm, a group of Boko Haram insurgents wanted to infiltrate Maiduguri but the armed forces responded swiftly and repelled the insurgents.

“I understand that most of the insurgents were killed. The Army, Airforce, Police and the Civilian JTF, played a very significant role in repelling the insurgents.

“If such reaction from the armed forces is sustained, the insurgents would be repelled whenever they surface anywhere in the North -East. We pray that this month of Ramadan will bring peace to our country.”

Y'all are in the game
Some just play better than others

Mofos

Weren't you all accusing Jonathan of failing in his responsibility of securing the country? Did any of you attack the then Borno State governor over the kidnap of Chibok girls?

Now the table has turned you want us to tune down criticism of your god and share the blame, you ain't seeing nothing yet.

Whoever comes to equity must come with clean hands.

Aboki is wailing..

They are not confused but national cake wouldn't allow them to be rational.

The Truth is all our Leaders are confused. From top to button. Argue with the way they been managing our challenges

Them dey sponsor the insecurity to spread to other parts of the country make e no be say na only there place e dey happen....

Ndume the terrorist....

Ndume the terrorist....

the senator sponsoring Boko Haram . His case of terrorism financing in the court has been technically and tactically dropped because he is a member of APC. Here is the man who supposed to spend his entire life in jail

Why are the northerners shivering about the banning of open grazing in Southern Nigeria?

You northerners want open grazing in your region, let the herders do as how they like there, that's no longer our business.

If you are a herder and want to do herding business in any southern part, get your own personal ranching. If the herding business is not that profitable for any of them that can't afford ranching, let them go and look for another job

Except if there are things they are not telling us

These ones are mad. We need our farmers to keep farming. We don’t need that trash extremist behavior brought about by you. Who will rather send their children to Islamic school than to get proper education so that their world view is enlightened. You raise your children badly, they must bomb you. But that should never be your neighbors problem.

Instead of accusing others, start to promote a more liberal Islam. The extremists will die out. If they have propaganda radio, you sef open your own to counter their views. When belief in them dies out, everybody will go back to their farms to work. Instead of kidnapping and other criminal trash which is being fueled by what they profit.

To protect our farmers and food prices in the country, open grazing must be banned. Because you are running around aimlessly with cows for your own business. The whole country must die and starve. Very foolish human being. Senseless. No wonder extremists will not let you rest.

Now he's having the guts to challenge the governors for wanting a safe place for their people....


He should order for more weapons and give it to his Herdsmen to roam people's farm...

Just imagine! He avoid his fellow clueless and incompetent BH sympathizer comrade president by even asserting that "..Buhari has taken charge of security...." yet the same Ndume was lamenting that Borno state is under the siege of BH terrorists?

Same way Governor Zulum and other hypocrite northern leaders are saying security has improved yet the region is a theatre of senseless bloodshed and killings? All of them from the highest to the least in the hierarchy are always sounding incredibly stupid and irresponsible.

How's ESN creating insecurity in the south east? What is wrong with these people

I've started seeing cattle ranches springing up in the part of Southern Nigeria that I live.

Very soon, most cattle consumed by Yòrùbá people within Nigeria will be from Yòrùbá owned cattle ranches.

I know Lagos State already has this on lock since Fashola days, other Yòrùbá states just need to follow suit stringently

Aboki is wailing..

Don’t mind the gworo chewing and fura da nunu guzzling pedophile.

They are pissing in their pants that the South is finally uniting.

You are calling Governors Chief security officers when they can’t even control Man O war!

Their cover is busted and their agenda shattered that’s why he’s wailing.

Fools

It seems Ndume is high on cow dung and urine, the same Ndume that lamented that borno was under siege by Boko haram is the same person saying the crap....


Where was Buhari and Ndume when Fulani terrorists masquerading as herdsmen chased some people from their land into Benin republic as refugee or was Ndume deaf and dumb when Orton was crying about the incessant destruction of lives and properties in benue without any solution....

We Don ban.. am moo!!!

These people don't want peace, they want to still live in the year 0000,how would you be supporting open grazing in 2021,even Saudi Arabia don't have open grazing, how on earth did Britain join us with these people? And for the record there is nothing like farmer herder clashes.. It is the herder killing farmers

Open grazing would continue in the south and there is nothing the southern governors can do about it because the fulanis own Nigeria

The fulanis own Nigeria and there is nothing you can do about it, the earlier you fight to have your own country the better, how dare you challenge the owners of Nigeria? Look we all know this Nigeria is going to break these people from the sahel wants no peace, they hate peace, they love when Everywhere is in chaos how else would day make money?

For me I have already seen the hand writing on the wall and some of us have seen it, if a country can't move forward after 60yrs then it can't.

We are old now and have kids and when our kids are old this Nigeria would still be the same, it can never change because we have a slave and master relationship, no equal rights for her citizens the fulanis are lord and master

Biafra Nation now

Yoruba nation now

Middlebelt nation now

Why are they so scared

Ndume shut da f*ck up

let m e read and come bck

As usual

let m e read and come back

This one that should still be in jail is talking. Yes, so meeting now shows Buhari has taking charge
